Looks like you have done great caring for this bird so far!
Is there a vet that will see the bird? Or a wildlife rehab centre who will take the bird in?

Can she move it at all? Maybe sprained, hopefully not anything worse,,a vet or rehab is a good idea, she sure is cute, thank you for helping her.

I had a bad experience with that, my bird had crash landed when she was tiny and I took her to the vet - she had 3 breaks in her leg! I felt terrible. So for that reason I recommend seeing a vet.

Turmeric and cayenne are good for pain, but I don’t know how much they really help, you know?
